Hello to everyone!!

Imagine that, 2008 is here, the month if almost over. Hope everyone had a great
holiday. Now we have to start working on the things that’s not finished and new
ones. As we all know, we wait until the last minute to work on holiday presents.

Our holiday charity went very well. We handed out all the hand knitted, and
crocheted items to the less fortunate, on Thanksgiving Day at St. Vincent’s. We
are planning to do another Charity knit and crochet. If you would like to help,
and don’t have yarn, we have plenty of donated yarn; just come by the shop and
pick up some. Things that are needed: hats, mittens, scarf, socks and whatever
you wish to make.

What’s new for the New Year?
For all you sock lovers, we are doing a CRAZY SOCKS CONTEST using all your
leftover sock yarns. For more information and to sign up, please go to the website:
http://www.deluxeyarns.com/crazysockcontest.html. If you know someone without a computer, please
pass the word. We also have flyers at the shop. This will be a good way to get
rid of those little leftover balls of sock yarn.

Noro has come out with a new Sock yarn and yes, we have it here. I also like to
help the independent small yarn company. We now have SeaCoast Handpainted
Sock yarns.

Coming soon is our Mystery Sock in a Bag. This went very well so we are doing
it again. We are also going to do Knit-Up Reno in the park, when the weather is much
nicer (summer) that was also a success.
We have not forgotten our very first plan to Knitting on the Lake, that’s in the working.

If nothing else, this is good weather to knit, crochet, so bring out the sticks and hooks.
Don’t forget we also have our social meet groups 1st Monday, and 3rd Thursday of the month from 6 p.m. to 8 p. m.

Thank you and have a great beginning of the year.
